Silverscreen Covers.

We have had both Silver screen and Polar covers for our first and second vans. No problems with either company or with their screens. They should respond to messages however unfounded a complaint may or may not be.
@Ninian If the OP has a complaint he could try going through resolver.co.uk and making it more formal to get a response one way or the other.

I agree Ruth although although we don't know how they tried to contact Silver Screens. I do find the comment in the post "If you have their screens be warned do NOT use them in the winter otherwise you will end up with the same result" as that is simply wrong given the company's history.

Perhaps the OP will respond and give more details, although this being their 3rd post (the first 2 being duplicates) they haven't responded before.

I`ve had 2 screens off them Rob and both times we went over and collected them because it`s not actually that far from us.

Very very nice helpful friendly people and they showed us around the workshop to see how they are made.
 
I can't remember off hand whether I went for 'Silver Screens' or 'Taylor Made' Bill, I think it was the latter. Whichever it was my screen is excellent and so easy to fit. I will have a look tomorrow.

As you say though, Milenco are a good company but I have no experience of their screens.

Just checked mine Bill and it is a Silver Screens made specifically for the Renault Master.

As I said, excellent and Julie can fit it on her own which is saying something! It also has a fold down flap in the middle and so can be partially open to view out.
 
To be fair to Silverscreen, they do say in the instructions that the screen is only intended for use while camping and warn against use when the van is in storage. I've noticed over the five years we've used a genuine Silverscreen that the outside has 'tarnished', but we've had no real issues and I'll wholeheartedly recommend their product. Communications with Silverscreen both before and after purchase was excellent IME -- but then my discussion with them was gentle and unlikely to end in a demand for compensation. My guess is that the OP has, contrary to the instructions, used the screen for storage over-winter, which has allowed the aluminium reflective treatment to be in contact with the bodywork long enough for it to permanently adhere.


FWIW, I'm always wary of Milenco. At one time they claimed that their towing mirrors were the only ones that could be legally sold in UK when that just wasn't the case (they were the only ones that complied with legislation not yet in force at the time). They tried to tell me the towing mirrors I'd just bought from a competitor were illegal even though my towcar was first registered before the cut-off date and that I must buy their product or face prosecution. When confronted, their rep was very evasive. Despite that, I bought a pair of their "Triple" levelling ramps based on their sales blurb as it seemed nothing else offered the same 'lift'. However, those levelling ramps were rubbish and seriously deformed at first use despite being loaded to only 2/3 design loading -- I ended up with a refund from the shop that sold them, but Milenco themselves were uninterested when I reported the issue. I have no experience of their covers, but my experience with the company suggests caution...
Thanks Geoff. I actually have the milenco quad ramps, I have had them for six years now, and apart from some of the studs being flattened, they are in good nick Geoff. My biggest complaint being the bag which is so thin it’s falling apart. I will probably order a new bag. I have read through reviews of the covers but as usual with reviews they are extreme, most give five stars, but a few give onky one.
 
I have 2 sets of Milenco Quattros, an original Quattro and a Quattro 2, one set for use whilst away and lives in the motorhome garage and the other set kept at home in the garage to stop the water from pooling on the roof, that way i never go away without a set that i forgot to put back in the motorhome garage o_O

Similarly i have a EHU cable wired directly into the garage to use when on hook up at home and 2 ( 10m & 25m ) that live in the motorhome for use when away.

This regime works for me seeing as i have a memory like a sieve somethimes 🤪
 
I've had both silver screens & taylor maid and have left them on for weeks at a time summer and winter when vans parked outside at home and not had any problems like whats reported here. But they could be using a new product to make their screen covers now Pity they've not replied to the Op
